British government plans summit on rising knife crime

An entry posted on the Met Police Twitter accounts for Redbridge, Havering and Barking & Dagenham said: "The investigation team into this tragedy are appealing for calm at this time, they are working tirelessly into finding the offender (s) who have committed this crime".

Writing in the Daily Telegraph ahead of the summit, Mr Javid said he would be open to suggestions for improving the official response to what he described as "a disease, spreading through our communities, infecting our young people, taking and blighting lives".

Mr Allen said: "We see too many weak gateways or disclaimers, from online retailers specifically, where the customer self-declares they are 18 without having to submit any proof - this is a wholly inadequate solution and provides an easy route for children to obtain knives against very limited checks".

Meetings will take place "as soon as possible" and were being treated as "a priority" by the PM, said her spokesman.

Police attribute the rise of fatal stabbings to various factors from gang rivalries and cuts in youth services to provocations on social media.

It is true that the causes of the increase in violent knife use are complicated and...

Evidence suggests the way to stop young people being stabbed does not lie exclusively with the criminal justice system.
